About

Ricardo Pizá’s research centers on advanced control systems, sensor fusion, and robotics, with a particular focus on multirate and networked control strategies. His major contributions include the development of delay-independent dual-rate PID controllers for packet-based networked control systems, which address the challenges of slow-rate sensing and communication delays in industrial automation. Pizá also pioneered a nonuniform dual-rate extended Kalman-filter-based sensor fusion approach for path-following control of holonomic mobile robots with mecanum wheels, enabling robust navigation despite sensors operating at different rates. His work on multirate LQG controllers for self-location and path-tracking in mobile robots further demonstrates his expertise in solving complex, multi-input multi-output sampled-data control problems. With over 80 citations across his most influential papers, Pizá’s research has significantly impacted the fields of robotics and networked control systems. Notably, his 2022 paper on sensor fusion for mobile robots highlights his ability to integrate theoretical control methods with practical robotic applications, making his work highly relevant for students and researchers interested in autonomous systems and real-time control.
